Public-Private Partnerships for Crisis Management

$25.00

A Community Solution

This research paper from Michigan State University examines the benefits of government and
the private sector (business and nonprofit organizations) creating a partnership
focusing on joint critical incident management. Businesses and local government
look to protect their people, property and information. Though they have similar
goals they approach on how to prepare for, respond to and recover from the
impact of critical incidents sometimes in different ways. Therefore, those
businesses and local governments who are able to coordinate and collaborate
should be more effective and efficient; thereby, reducing duplication,
resources, and costs in managing critical incidents. Additionally, this research
paper examines Michigan State University’s Critical Incident Protocol (CIP) –
Community Facilitation program. Through the CIP Program, MSU facilitated at the
city, county and regional level public/private partnership with 50 communities,
including 3 train-the-trainer workshops in 24 states and with over 4,200 public
and private sector executives and stakeholders participating in the workshops.

The paper includes:
